Nandamuri Balakrishna Forces Allu Arjun To Dance At Telangana Gaddar Film Awards
Last Updated: Allu Arjun won Best Actor for Pushpa 2 at the Telangana Gaddar Film Awards held at HITEX, Hyderabad on June 14, 2025. The energy was sky-high at HITEX, Hyderabad, on Saturday, June 14, as the Telangana Gaddar Film Awards lit up the evening with stars, selfies, and surprises. While the winners were announced weeks ago, the actual ceremony took place last evening. Allu Arjun, who bagged the Best Actor award for his fiery role in Pushpa 2, made a dashing appearance at the event. But before he could soak in the applause, he got a surprise of his own, courtesy of Nandamuri Balakrishna. A video doing the rounds on social media shows Balayya playfully egging Bunny (as fans lovingly call Allu Arjun) to dance to Mahesh Babu's peppy chartbuster Kurchi Madathapetti. The song was playing at the venue, and Balakrishna wasn't letting this golden moment slide. Allu Arjun was all laughs and tried to dodge the dare. This made the crowd cheer for them. Also spotted at the starry evening were Vijay Deverakonda, and several other Tollywood biggies. A photo featuring Deverakonda, Nandamuri Balakrishna, and Allu Arjun seated together has taken social media by storm. Take a look: Two weeks ago, when the winners of the Telangana Gaddar Film Awards were announced, Allu Arjun took to social media to share his gratitude. He wrote, 'I am truly honoured to receive the first Best Actor award for #Pushpa2 at the #GaddarTelanganaFilmAwards 2024. Heartfelt thanks to the Government of Telangana for this prestigious honour . All credit goes to my director Sukumar garu, my producers, and the entire Pushpa team. I dedicate this award to all my fans , your unwavering support continues to inspire me (sic)." Allu Arjun stepped into the film industry with his debut in Gangotri (2003). He gained widespread recognition with Sukumar's cult hit Arya (2004), which also earned him a Nandi Special Jury Award. His action-packed roles in Bunny (2005) and Desamuduru (2007) gained him much popularity. In 2008, he showcased his romantic side in Parugu, a performance that won him his first Filmfare Award for Best Actor – Telugu. Allu Arjun continued his winning streak with a series of box office hits with Arya 2 (2009) and received critical acclaim for his performance in Vedam (2010). His flair for action and comedy shone in Julayi (2012) and Race Gurram (2014), followed by notable successes like S/O Satyamurthy (2015), Sarrainodu (2016), and DJ: Duvvada Jagannadham (2017). He delivered one of his biggest hits with Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo in 2020. Allu Arjun is now gearing up for a massive project — his upcoming film with director Atlee, co-starring Deepika Padukone. Currently in pre-production, this film too is expected to be a high-budget, multilingual release, with a reported release window sometime in 2027. First Published:
